Role in the Short

When Elmer shows up to Tillie's party with flowers and wins her heart, Tuffy, and the other boys become jealous of him. They tease Elmer by telling him that his nose "looks like a rubber hose", pulling it, imitating it, and tripping him over with it, until he leaves. Tuffy and the other boys later try to rescue Tillie when her house catches fire, but their attempts fail until Elmer rescues her.
